The Hidden Messages in Water
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by Masaru Emoto
The average human body is 70 percent water. We start out life being 99
percent water, as fetuses. When we are born, we are 90 percent water,
and by the time we reach adulthood we are down to 70 percent. If we
die of old age, we will probably be about 50 percent water. In other
words, throughout our lives we exist mostly as water.

From a physical perspective, humans are water. So how can people live
happy and healthy lives? The answer is to purify the water that makes
up 70 percent of your body.

Water in a river remains pure because it is moving. Then water becomes
trapped, it dies. Therefore, water must constantly be circulated. The
water – or blood – in the bodies of the sick is usually stagnant. When
blood stops flowing, the body starts to decay, and if the blood in
your brains stops, it can be life threatening.

But why does blood become stagnant? We can see this condition as the
stagnation of the emotions. Modern researches have shown that the
condition of the mind has a direct impact on the condition of the
body. When you are living a full and enjoyable life, you feel better
physically, and when your life is filled with struggles and sorrow,
your body knows it.

So when your emotions flow throughout your body, you feel a sense of
joy and you move towards physical health.

Moving, changing, flowing – this is what life is all about.

So just what is water? Your first answer might be that it is a life
force. More now than in the past, the medical community has begun to
see water as a transporter of energy and it is even being used in the
treatment of illness. Homeopathy is one such field where the value of
water is recognized. Homeopathy proposes that water has the ability to
copy and memorize information.

Among all medicines, there are none with the healing powers of love.
Since I came to this realization, I have continued to tell people that
immunity is love. What could be more effective at overcoming negative
powers and returning vitality to the body?

However, I have recently felt the need to change my terminology. I now
know that it is not love alone that forms immunity, but love and
gratitude. I became convinced of this from the following experiment.

I heated water in a microwave oven and then attempted to see the
impact of the magnetic field on crystals. I used two types of water:
distilled water, and water from the tap shown the words love and
gratitude. The crystals formed from the distilled water were deformed
and incomplete, but the water shown the words love and gratitude
formed complete crystals. In other words, love and gratitude were able
to make the water immune to the damaging effects of the magnetic
field.

I have mentioned that water shown the words love and gratitude forms
the most beautiful crystals. Of course the word love alone has the
ability to create wonderful crystals, but love and gratitude combine
to give the crystals a unique depth and refinement, a diamond-like
brilliance.

Since becoming entranced by the wondrous powers of water, I have been
blessed with the opportunity to see and conduct experiments on many
types of water from around the world. Each sample of water has its own
unique and beautiful characteristics.

I have also seen with my own eyes how the water of the world is
becoming polluted. The World Trade Organization has stated that the
twentieth century started with wars for oil, but that in the
twenty-first century we will see wars for water.

Pollution originated within our own consciousness. We started to think
that we wanted a bountiful and convenient lifestyle at any cost, and
this selfishness led to the pollution of the environment that now
affects every corner of the globe.

We have seen through the crystal photographs that water is the mirror
of our souls. What do our souls look like – and how should they look?
These are questions that can also be answered by water. In what
direction are we headed? What is our role in protecting this planet?
Such questions can only be considered when we recognize the greatness
of the human being. Perhaps it is time that we stop seeing the human
being as the evil agent. I think we underestimate the innate abilities
that we each have. We have enormous power.

Our emotions and feelings have an effect on the world moment by
moment. If you send out words and images of creativity, then you will
be contributing to the creation of a beautiful world. However,
emitting messages of destruction you contribute to the destruction of
the universe.

If you become aware of this, you will no longer be able to speak words
of anger to those around you, or blame others for your own mistakes
and weaknesses. You have the capacity to change the world within a
moment. All you must do is make a simple choice. Are you going to
choose a world of love and gratitude, or a tortured world filled with
discontent and impoverishment? The answer will depend on your attitude
at this very moment.
